Artist: Yukon Blonde Band Members: Jeff Innes, Brandon Scott, Adam Newton and Graham Jones. High Res Photos: http://drop.io/yukonblonde Short Bio: After touring the country several times, Alphababy decided to join Nevado Records, change their name to Yukon Blonde and get to work on their debut LP, scheduled to be released by Nevado Records this summer. Having toured and played alongside such names as Ladyhawk, Constantines and Jon-Rae Fletcher, you can be sure to catch Yukon Blonde playing in your town this year. Biography: Yukon Blonde is Jeff Innes, Brandon Scott, Adam Newton, and Graham Jones – a band from the rolling hills of Kelowna, a city that enjoys, and is cursed by it’s own burgeoning scene. Going under the name AlphaBaby from early 2005 until late 2008, the band has conquered their fair city and toured through Canada extensively, playing some 300 shows whilst performing alongside bands such as Ladyhawk, The Constantines, Jon-Rae Fletcher, Magnolia Electric Co, Black Mountain, and Women. As AlphaBaby, (then a quintet) the band also released two EPs: "You Gentle Crustacean", recorded by Colin Stewart of The Hive Creative Labs in Vancouver BC, and "AlphaBaby Live", a bootleg by dear friend Kaylub Burke. A band that borrows from the best; looking for influence in 60’s rock harmonies, thick yet simple hooks, and depression-era furniture upholstery, they have been compared to Supertramp, Fleetwood Mac, Crosby/Stills/Nash, and America. Yukon Blonde was formed by Innes, Scott, Jones, and Newton out of their love of nostalgic music and a need to make new sound in a screaming town. After returning from a cross-Canada tour with Jon-Rae Fletcher, Yukon Blonde recorded their debut full length album as well as a short 4-song EP titled “Everything In Everyway”, both of which were co-produced by Shawn Cole who has previously worked with Bend Sinister, YSP!WSD!, and Wintermitts. The EP will be released on October 6th across Canada. The full length album will follow in February 2010. Everything In Everyway is an exciting collection of songs, showcasing for the first time Yukon Blonde’s sound. With an extensive tour coming up for the fall, and eighteen minutes of recorded music on the EP, Yukon Blonde hopes to get your attention.
